You have to replace certain parts, of course.

Dryer
fixed orifice tube
O-rings
flush mineral oil and replace with ester oil

Other than that, if you vacuum it out well, it should be an excellent system. It was designed exactly the same as the later 240 A/C systems that ran on 134a from the factory. There are condenser fan upgrades (free, take a few minutes) that help a lot.
